Media assistance and journalism support practitioners who are working in the Levant region.
Donors and funders to media development and information integrity programmes in the region.
Lebanon, Palestine, and Syria.
Identify the most urgent funding needs in crisis and emergency contexts and evaluate how longer-term structural support can be mobilised, especially in areas where some donors have recently withdrawn.
The discussion will be informed by a new GFMD mapping of past, current and planned funding in the region, which will be shared in advance of the meeting.
GFMD will use the contributions of members and partners to finalise the mapping report, which will be used by GFMD and our members in dialogue and policy discussions with existing and potential donors.
Provide recommendations to donors and intermediaries on how media assistance to the region can better align with which donors themselves have subscribed to.
